Kagiso Rabada and his Proteas teammates will be looking to swing things around in the third and final Test against India.
With the match starting on Saturday, the Proteas enter the encounter on the back of heavy defeats in the first two Tests.
But Rabada believes they can save some face if the SA fast bowlers can get the ball to reverse swing like their hosts.
The 24-year-old explains: “They [India] got the ball to reverse and bowled well as a collective to put pressure on us.
“Their spinners bowled well and when ball reversed, their fast bowlers did well too.
“We couldn’t really get the ball to reverse - which is a big weapon of ours.”

Of the series defeat, Rabada adds: “We’re very disappointed. It’s never nice to lose, especially in the manner that we are losing now.
“The best thing we can do is look at where we can improve and remember our strengths as a team. “It’s been a huge learning curve so far and we need to challenge ourselves to execute what we’ve learnt.”
If they do execute their plans to perfection, Rabada believes: “We can win. It will be great to back it up with a good performance before we leave.
“It will give us much more confidence knowing that we can play here and win.”
